Ability Held Item
Intimidate Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Sitrus Berry ImageSitrus Berry

Wyrdeer's best Ability is Intimidate, which can reduce the damage potential of physically offensive foes. It is equipped with a Sitrus Berry to give it HP recovery during a match.

Moves Breakdown

Psyshield Bash Trick Room
Protect Imprison

Psyshield Bash is a 70 BP attacking move that raises Wyrdeer's Defense by 1 stage, making it even more physically bulky.

Trick Room can reverse the turn order, allowing slower threats to outspeed quicker opponents.

Protect is good for keeping Wyrdeer safe for a turn.

Imprison when in a set with Trick Room and Protect, can lock opposing Pokemon out of using those moves, allowing you to keep a Speed advantage, or prevent them from protecting themselves.

EV Spread Explanation

Wyrdeer's EV spread for this build leans on making it a bulky Trick Room setter while being capable of dealing some physical damage. To achieve this, you should max out your HP and Attack EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Special Defense, which when coupled with its Sassy Nature, can give Wyrdeer some hefty special bulk.

Other Viable Moves

Skill Swap Skill Swapping with a teammate with Intimidate can allow you to trigger it multiple times.

How to Use Wyrdeer Effectively

Use Wyrdeer to Enable or Prevent Trick Room

Wyrdeer with Trick Room and Imprison can effectively give you control when Trick Room goes up. Imprisoning Protect can also lock opponents out of options to stall out Trick Room turns.

How to Build a Team with Wyrdeer

Wyrdeer's toolkit and stats make it a suitable Pokemon in Trick Room teams. Teammates that can help enable Trick Room are greatly appreciated, as well as slow teammates who flourish under Trick Room conditions.

Sample Doubles Team

Support Physical Attacker
Wyrdeer ImageWyrdeer Iron Hands ImageIron Hands
Support Special Attacker
Hisuian Lilligant ImageHisuian Lilligant Torkoal ImageTorkoal

Wyrdeer can benefit from having a teammate that can help enable Trick Room, such as Iron Hands, who is a Fake Out user. Hisuian Lilligant can offer this team setup a 'Fast Mode', while Torkoal can work in and out of Trick Room with its synergy with the other Pokemon on the team.
Additionally, Wyrdeer can prevent Trick Room with Imprison, if Trick Room will put your team at a disadvantage.

Counters for Wyrdeer

Force Wyrdeer to Tera or KO It

Wyrdeer will not be able to survive powerful super-effective hits. While it can Terastallize to shed its weakness, it also forces the player to commit Tera, which is a valuable resource.
